Rishi Sunak’s good luck message for Stockton Town FC must be the most awkward thing you’ll see today
The MP for Stockton South, Matt Vickers, was very excited ahead of the town’s football club Stockton Town FC facing Derbyshire’s Long Eaton in the play-off finals. He asked the PM to send them a good luck message – and Rishi Sunak agreed.
Here’s how that looked.

We’re totally convinced that the PM knew what he was talking about. Other people, though – they were a little more sceptical.

"Yeah, straight to camera, PM. And don't forget to sound like one of those young, hip voters you've just I.D suppressed at this election… "

The video reminded Happy Toast of a certain classic comedy moment.
